It's the opposite side of the world, but Australian singing sensation Kylie Minogue was right at home when she starred in concert at George Maloof’s The Pearl in the Palms. Kylie dazzled with her vocal power and a stunning array of costume changes!

Among the stars watching the powerful performance from the VIP skyboxes were Paris Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt and Vanessa Minnillo with her Face of Vegas TV co-stars Carson Kressley and Beth Ostrosky, whose husband, Howard Stern, had flown in from New York to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. Kylie’s boyfriend model Andres Velencoso was invited to join the showbiz contingent and watch the show.

Photographer George Bekich was on front-row center assignment for our photos.

Longtime fan favorite Journey performed to more than 6,500 fans packed into the open-air palazzo courtyard at The M Resort, and our contributing photographers Tom Donoghue and Erik Kabik shot our photo gallery.

Tom told me: “This was a great and incredible show. The setting on the outdoor plaza was totally perfect for Journey and their hits. The crowd had the time of their lives. Just one great and very memorable night of music.”

Erik told me: “Before photographing the show, I caught up with lead singer Arnel Pineda backstage for a few photos with him and the band, where he also took time to meet fans and sign autographs.”

Angelo Giordano of Giordano World Entertainment and producer of the Las Vegas Hilton show Voices featuring Lani Misalucha told us that plans are moving along for an upcoming concert featuring Arnel and Lani to benefit victims of the recent tsunami that hit Indonesia and the Philippines. Arnel and Lani’s families have been affected by the tsunami.

More details on the benefit will be announced shortly, but meantime a portion of ticket sales for Voices will go toward tsunami relief.
